FreeBSD-6.0 Install slows to a crawl

[aus129 at gmail.com]

I am attempting an install of FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE with the CD1 ISO image.
Everything runs at a normal speed until it mounts /dev/md0 and runs
/stand/sysinstall.  At that point the whole process slows to a crawl.  It
does not freeze, but it is really slow.  I suffered through the Standard
install, which has been installing bin to / for the last 12 hours at about
0.3 KB per second.  I have a dual celeron 433 setup using an Abit BP6
motherboard.  I saw that its ACPI setup is blacklisted, so I disabled it in
the BIOS.  I have disabled ACPI at the boot loader prompt as well.  I did
not see anything about this in the INSTALL, RELNOTES or README docs.  Am I
missing something?  Are there any other kernel hints that would be useful?
Thanks for the help!
